Description

Photograph of a palm tree in a desert with mountains in the distance, [s.d.]. The tall palm tree stands at center with strips of bark covering its long trunk up to the large, fan-like leaves. A variety of shorter plants crowd the foreground with trees on either side while a small path lies from left to right behind the palm tree. A large bush sits at center behind the palm tree, just beyond the path, while a hemmed row of shorter bushes extend from either side. A field of bushes continue into the background while several small structures stand along the foot of a smooth mountain side in the distance.
